Green

Green is the color of the meadows.
the green color, green are the woods.
Green are the woods.
Green are the leaves.
The green color finds itself in the container.
the silo must have bright-green color.
green is beautiful. Beside manure.

Translated by Gary Sullivan.

Grün

Grün is die Farbe der Wiesen.
die Farbe grün, grün sind die Wälder.
Grün sind die Wälder.
Grün sind die Blätter.
Die grün Farbe befindet sich im Behälter.
der Silo muß hellgrüne Farbe haben.
grün ist schön. Neben Mist.

Notes

"Mist" means "manure," "droppings," "rubbish," or "bullshit" in German. Manure seemed most apt in this context.
